Yet another e-mail video virus
From the BBC
A virus purporting to show video of Nick Berg alive has been released on the internet, warn security experts.
The virus is in a message post to tens of thousands of newsgroups, said anti-virus firm Sophos.
It is the same one that posed as a suicide note from Arnold Schwarzenegger and as images claiming to show that Osama Bin Laden had killed himself.
Graham Cluley, Sophos
"This gruesome insensitivity is a despicable ploy to get curious computer users to download malicious files."
